• Aid For Friends At A Glance
      - The mission of Aid for Friends ( AFF)  is to alleviate the hunger and loneliness of isolated homebound individuals.  All of our services are provided free of charge.

      - AFF provides home-cooked meals and the gift of friendship to our clients in the five-county Philadelphia region.

      - Volunteer coordinators meet with each referred friend to determine needs, assess the overall situation, and assign a volunteer visitor.

      - Our empathetic visitors spend time with each friend on a weekly  basis as they deliver meals (frozen, home-cooked dinners, soups, breakfast bags and supplemental foods) and develop true friendships.

      - Meals are provided by individuals and through group cooking events organized by boy and girl scout troops, schools, and other organizations,  Meals are then stored in freezers housed in churches, synagogues and community centers throughout the region and in our warehouse/outreach center in Northeast Philadelphia.
